THE closest you’ll probably get to a celebrity Shroff is your LCD screen unless you’re Ajay Bhai Amrit and can afford stylish trips to Tinsel Town and the hot spots of showbiz, right? Wrong.

If the only famous Shroffs you know are the father and son of Bollywood showbiz, there were better reasons to buy tickets to the International Resort Wear Show 2015 last Saturday — Mona Shroff was in town.

A celebrity in her own right, Shroff is an established jewellery designer based in Hong Kong and has attracted global accolades for her all-inclusive style.

“I have been a designer for 18 years and floating in-house labels for Selfridges (London), Galleri Lafayette (Paris), and 28 department stores in UAE. My production lines are in Italy, Spain, Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Philippines and China.”

Shroff is a sizzling sensation in Bollywood.

“I showcased at India’s top most fashion show Lakme Fashion Week in March 2012. I was on board as an accessory partner for the Miss India Pageant 2012 and I finished my Pune fashion show in November 2013,” she said.

Still in India, there’s no stopping Shroff who is participating at the India Beach Fashion Show 2015 in Goa.

If you’re still contemplating reasons to see Shroff on stage, take it from Bollywood actress Nargis Bagheri: “It’s an honour and privilege to be associated with Mona Shroff and her label. Beautiful, classic and very high fashion jewellery. Every piece makes a statement and caters to all age groups.

So happy to endorse her jewellery. Definitely she is one designer to lookout for.”

It may sound too good to be true that her next stop was our island home but deal with it, the designer herself was here to offer the people of Fiji a glimpse of her show-stopping accessories.
